[linux-audio-user] An Aztec 2320 ISA sound card problem

[Ravi Kumar]

Hello,
     I have an Aztec 2320  sound card.It is ISA and not PCI. I have
recently installed Fedora core 2 on my machine. I could not get the
sound to work, so I checked and found that I have indeed sound support
compiled in my kernel (2.6). Then I had visited the alsa-project.org
site and according to their suggestion, loaded the aztec 2320 module -
snd_azt2320. Now my machine correctly detects the card but when I play
a sound file, no sound is heard. I checked that the volume is high by
running  kmix and alsamixer program. Also earlier I was able to pop an
audio CD and play it successfully. But after loading the Aztec module,
I am not able to hear that too, though the music is being played.
I have included the lines as specified in the alsa-project.org site
into the /etc/modules.conf file.
The 'lsmod' listing as well as the contents of the '/etc/modules.conf'
file has been included below for your viewing. Please tell me where I
could have gone wrong. Is it that the details given on the site were
for a PCI based card and is different for an ISA based card of the
same chipset?

I checked for the files - /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, /dev/sequencer and 
/dev/midi - but I found that /dev/midi is missing. Could it be because
of that too?

Sorry for this long email.

Thanks in advance
Ravi
